WELCOME TO AUX VIVRES, MONTREAL'S FIRST VEGAN RESTAURANT.
At Aux Vivres, we serve fresh, innovative and delicious vegan food using nothing but the highest quality ingredients. We have made it our mission to debunk any myths people may hold about vegan food by preparing meals that are flavourful and inspired, all the while being healthy and satisfying.
Aux Vivres receives wide praise for flavorful, fresh vegan dishes, generous portions and a warm, cozy atmosphere. Dishes like the Mumbai bowl, Thai bowl, Dragon bowl, BLT and dahl soup are repeatedly cited as satisfying, with thoughtful ingredient combinations and plenty of vegetables. The menu is described as healthy and comforting, with many reviewers noting gluten free options and allergy awareness. The staff is often described as friendly and attentive, with praise for service and ambiance, though a few comments point to slower service during busy periods. Occasionally criticisms appear about price value, portions that feel very large for some, changes to the menu removing favorites like Tom Yum soup and Malai Kofta, and in one case a report of food poisoning after the Dragon bowl. The venue is described as a Montreal institution and a go to for both vegans and non vegans, with brunch, smoothies and a shop for take away. Overall, the reviews suggest Aux Vivres is a cornerstone of vegan dining in Montreal, with frequent recommendations to try the BLT and the variety of bowls, and a note to plan for potential crowds.
Chaque visite est un vrai plaisir. Les plats sont savoureux, colorés & remplis de fraîcheur. On sent la qualité des ingrédients & le soin apporté à chaque assiette. Même les non-végétaliens sont conquis!
L'ambiance est chaleureuse, le service attentionné & l'expérience toujours constante. Que ce soit pour un brunch, un lunch ou un smoothie, tout est délicieux.
Un incontournable végane à Montréal - je recommande sans hésiter!
Très belle découverte. Smoothie onctueux & savoureux. Fraîcheur dans les fruits. J'ai pris le sandwich végé pâté. Rien a voir avec ceux de supermarché ( même s'ils sont bon). On sent le travail du fait maison. Pleins de saveurs & un peu croquant même parfois ( 👍). A essayé même si vous êtes pas végétarien, comme moi, c'est sans importance.

An amazing vegan restaurant. Not only the flavor but the presentation of the dishes are great. I tried a burger & a smoothie - I recommend them both! They tasted so fresh, flavorful & they came in copious portions. (Adding avocado to the burger would be just perfect.) This is definitely the place to go & discover that vegan & vegetarian food is delicious.
Aux Vivres est un rendez-vous populaire pour les véganes ainsi qu'une belle porte d'entrée pour découvrir ce type d'alimentation. Ce midi, j'ai pris un smoothie Bombay Banane (lait de soya & coco, gingembre, masala, dattes). Oh que c'est bon! Un beau kick épicé mais pas trop, juste parfait. Une soupe Dahl (soupe indienne à base de lentilles & lait de coco) en entrée ainsi qu'un petit chili maison pour completer le tout avec de la guacamole bien fraîche. Habituellement, je me sauve avec leur bon biscuit au gingembre, mais j'étais pleine & très satisfaite de mon repas. Il m'arrive régulièrement de prendre en take-out un sandwich végé pâté ou un bol Dragon avec leur bonne vinaigrette. Je n'ai jamais été déçu de leur cuisine. La qualité est constante. Le service fut un peu long pour prendre les commandes & recevoir les factures, mais pour recevoir nos repas, c'était dans la normalité. La personne était sympathique & souriante.
Always love wraps at Aux Vivres, they are sooo big ! I most often pick up my order directly but order through Uber Eats. My favourite smoothie is the creamsicle one:) cashier was really nice & sweet yesterday, love this healthy vegan restaurant

A very vast menu of delicious vegan meals, bols, wraps, smoothies & desserts! We loved everything we had. Very nice freindly, helpful service too. For either eating in or take out it always hits the spot.
Not enough sauce for the salads, not enough smoothie choices, you should have half sandwich because if people don't doggie bag it it's wasted but hey you guys are awesome!

Excellent restaurant, bruyant pour le brunch le weekend mais très branché. Cuisine végétalienne, avec juice bar e take out, très bon service, très beau personnel souriant & en santé. Les portions sont généreuses. Je vous recommande le BLT fait avec de la noix de coco toasté dans un pain chapati, genre de wrap immense, spécialité de la maison & le mango smoothie... Quels délices!
Good options overall for vegetarians, vegans, but probably not as great for raw foodists unless you order two salads & a smoothie to get a full meal.
I do wish they had more uncooked main dishes (meaning outside salads), more coconut & soy-free smoothies, & less soy/tofu dishes. Overall, it was good & the service was decent. Nothing amazing, but I appreciate the quality of food they offer & its contribution to healthier options in restaurants.
